Ramadan is widely observed as a period of reflection, compassion and giving across the UAE and the wider Islamic world. Dubai Racing Club said the initiative aims to align its racing calendar with the values associated with the month by directing part of event proceeds towards charitable and social causes.

“Ramadan is a time that reminds us of our responsibility to give, support those around us, and strengthen our sense of community,” said Khalifa bin Obood Al Falasi, Board Member of Dubai Racing Club. “At Dubai Racing Club, we are proud to contribute in a meaningful way during this blessed month, ensuring that our race meetings not only bring people together, but also support initiatives that deliver real and lasting impact.”

Tickets for the Ramadan race meetings — including the Ramadan at the Races iftar package — are available through the club’s website.
